I believe one’s experience at this university greatly depends on the programme they take. However, the one common factor every school here shares is the amount of activities they host. Almost every week, there are competitions, talks or socials for the students to better fit in and develop their CVs or understanding of what they wish to do in their profession. The University believes in allowing students to explore as many things as they wish by promoting fairs and Expo’s all around the campus so students of all disciplines can attend. As a Business School student, my favourite thing about it is the hands-on student development team which is always there for a chat, guidance or support. The innovation and opportunities are endless. However, I wish academically, there was more exam support. Due to Covid, many formats have changed so current students cannot always depend on the past-papers. Many people wish the lecturers could practice exam style questions or give us a sample paper so that we could be familiar with the format or the way questions are formatted.

The University of Edinburgh is an esteemed academic institution with a rich history and facilities which are worthy of its reputation. The University is an incredible institution which allows students from across the globe to pursue studies in a host of subjects. A critique of the University would be that the lecturers are not exactly helpful and seem more interested in dedicating time to their own work rather than deal with student inquiries.
